Our Aspergers Teenage Boy

Mom reports: Tommy’s favorite expression these days is “You hear me but you are not listening to me.” It translates to “You are not agreeing with me like you should.” Also popular is “Why must we discuss everything” and “That is not my job.” The last one was told to me tonight because I have fallen behind on laundry (again) and he was beyond annoyed not to have his jammies clean, folded and waiting in his drawer. I had the impudence to suggest that he do his own laundry once in a while (instead of cramming it all under his bed and waiting for it to magically re-appear clean and folded in his dresser). According to Tommy, the laundry is all MY job and not his job. Thanks for clearing that up for me Tommy.
